Xray radiation CDC article

We are all exposed to ionizing radiation every day from the natural environment without any immediate health impacts. Added exposures, from procedures such as medical imaging, can lead to an increase in our cancer risk later in life. X-rays, however, usually use the least amount of radiation compared with other imaging tests.

Your healthcare provider or dentist should recommend an x-ray when they believe that the benefits to your health outweigh this small risk. Talk to your healthcare provider or dentist if you have concerns and to decide when x-rays are the best choice for you.
